Words of wisdom from Steve Jobs...
"No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life.
It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now, the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.
Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true."

Change is the only constant in life and death is the only certainty.

On my last night at NUH an oldman came into my ward. He look more like a dead man....sunken eyes, mouth open with sunken chin. Whole night i couldn't sleep becos this oldman kept screaming in extreme pain throughout. I ask nurse why liddat....she told me oldman disorientated and scare to be alone. He can't talk except screaming....super scary to hear his scream.

Note that it does not mean I am not fearful of death, just not so fearful relative to the suffering before death.
if you are willing to spend $20,000. Go to switzerland when you have prolonged pain and suffering.
you can choose when to die.
so if you are fearful, $20,000 can solve your problem.

What is the link between dementia and the screaming?
And 80yo uncle of mine was also hospitalised 3 weeks ago, staying in a 4-bedder B ward.
One 80yo+ man with dementia was also screaming away, even during night time.
His wife told my uncle that he was still ok earlier and even went Malaysia for a short trip.
But the screaming or moaning condition suddenly surfaced.
Last heard that the old man had passed away.

I think they did. I remembered reading about a 100+ year old professor(?) from Australia going there to be euthanised a few years back.

The saddest patient I saw was lying next to my bed. Hes only 20yo. Whole day I only saw he open his eyes a few times as well as moving his head.
His dad told me his son had high fever at age 1.5 and KKH doctors don't know what to do and subsequently son kena stroke and part of his brain went dead.
The son can understand but can't speak. Can't walk but can crawl very fast. But now seems kena stroke again and don't know when can recover.
Nurse told me very hard to recover liao.
